A diminished cube, realized with 4 equilateral-triangle and 3 kite faces, all having the same area, [1] A heptahedron ( pl. : heptahedra ) is a polyhedron having seven sides, or faces . A heptahedron can take a large number of different basic forms, or topologies.
7: 5{4} +2{5} Hexagonal prism: 4.4.6 ... The white polygon lines represent the "vertex figure" polygon. The colored faces are included on the vertex figure images ...
3D model of a (uniform) pentagonal prism In geometry , the pentagonal prism is a prism with a pentagonal base. It is a type of heptahedron with seven faces , fifteen edges , and ten vertices .
Face, a 2-dimensional element; Cell, a 3-dimensional element; Hypercell or Teron, a 4-dimensional element; Facet, an (n-1)-dimensional element; Ridge, an (n-2)-dimensional element; Peak, an (n-3)-dimensional element; For example, in a polyhedron (3-dimensional polytope), a face is a facet, an edge is a ridge, and a vertex is a peak.
Vertex the (n−5)-face of the 5-polytope; Edge the (n−4)-face of the 5-polytope; Face the peak or (n−3)-face of the 5-polytope; Cell the ridge or (n−2)-face of the 5-polytope; Hypercell or Teron the facet or (n−1)-face of the 5-polytope
This implies that all faces meet at right angles, but this condition is weaker: Jessen's icosahedron has faces meeting at right angles, but does not have axis-parallel edges. Aside from the rectangular cuboids, orthogonal polyhedra are nonconvex. They are the 3D analogs of 2D orthogonal polygons, also known as rectilinear polygons.
In geometry, a heptagon or septagon is a seven-sided polygon or 7-gon.. The heptagon is sometimes referred to as the septagon, using "sept-" (an elision of septua-, a Latin-derived numerical prefix, rather than hepta-, a Greek-derived numerical prefix; both are cognate) together with the Greek suffix "-agon" meaning angle.
In elementary geometry, a face is a polygon [note 1] on the boundary of a polyhedron. [3] [4] Other names for a polygonal face include polyhedron side and Euclidean plane tile. For example, any of the six squares that bound a cube is a face of the cube. Sometimes "face" is also used to refer to the 2-dimensional features of a 4-polytope.
